WELCOME!This blog consists mostly of common sense responses to happenings (news articles, political events, etc) that just cry out for someone to say "WHOA! Hang on a second, here!" Too many people get away with just inventing their own facts as they bull-rush their way through an argument.Unless you're dodging a taxicab or sidestepping a falling gargoyle, it's usually wise to take what time is available to evaluate and apply actual common sense. Good, old wisdom. It is, of course, my opinion, but I'll try to show why I think it's factual.Thomas Paine said, "To argue with someone who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead." ... but I argue with drunks, egomaniacs, anti-gun Statists, Socialist/Keynesians and climate-fraud peddlers, too.

**PLEASE share this around. I didn't research, consider, write and post this junk just to have it hidden.And feel free to comment.**

Google, Apple, Amazon and other servers each handle billions
of transactions per week.Progressives
said that 30 million must be enrolled into Hillaryobamatax and paid $600 million to foreign
web designers.But in 3 weeks, only 9.5
million even visited the site.Only 3.5
million tried to ‘register’ for information.Only 1.3 million succeeded.Hearing about
the terrifying increases (200-400% on premiums, 200-300% in copays and deductibles), only 36
thousand actually enrolled. Oh, and by the way, HHS techs admit that the "window shopping" ability was ordered out of the website just weeks before the rollout, making the discovery of those unaffordable prices difficult for those who don't watch FOX. Even the
poor must pay 12% of total income before any subsidies kick in.Site traffic has dropped by 88%, obviating the Left's constant drumbeat that 'millions are frantic to lay hands on affordable healthcare'..NY Times, CNN, NBC and other latecomers now confirm that thesystem is simply unworkable and the plan is stunningly unaffordable.A few “Republicans” supported the Left in the efforts to slow or stop Hillaryobamacare and debt increases via negotiation. They pushed responsibility back a few
weeks, ensuring that we have to pay more and then re-fight all this again in January.

But Obama won't know anything about any of that "technical" stuff.

Progressives reversed all the facts about not only Hillaryobamatax, but the economic issues; including their fabricated threats of "default” if the debt limit was not raised without restriction. That could not happen,
since government already takes in 10 times our payment obligations even without an
increase. So, all that is needed is to pay bills and cover Federal Responsibilities before giving away any more billions to cronies, foreign companies, Illegal Aliens and freebies. The GOP House pre-passed several bills to reduce negative impacts (before and after the "Slimdown"), but the Leftist Executive branch issued orders to intentionally ignore or mis-interpret all of them to maximize pain to the People. The 17% reduction of
non-essential personnel when the budget was delayed was called “total Shutdown” by the Left (DNC and/or GOP). Executive Orders were issued to rent and place
barricades, then guard them to deny We the People access to our own monuments. DOD appointees denied death benefits for service members and their families. These were unreported or reverse-reported by most media.Obama and the Progressives crowed about
“winning” the political fight, accuse Conservatives of “brinksmanship and
extremism” and make ridiculous claims of “cutting debt” while spending more of
our grand children’s money.Obama claims that
slightly limiting his massive increasesis “the biggest cut in the deficit in history” and now it is time to re-re-re-revisit confiscatory taxes on the evil rich, Illegal Alien amnesty and Second Amendment infringement.

And now, it turns out that, "...if you like your insurance/plan/doctor, you can keep it, PERIOD" or, "...you can keep it, NO MATTER WHAT", has an asterisk (*). [No, a BIG asterisk.]

Now for the switcheroo.* [...well, that's a little better. Try again.]

And keep in mind, here:
Richard Nixon was hounded out of office [resigned when confronted by the Liberal media] solely on the strength of the charge that he "lied to the American People" (about his knowledge of a 4th rate, 'political tricks' burglary of a DNC office to find information about his opponant). No one was killed, no treasury losses were incurred, no American jobs were lost.
Bill Clinton was impeached [brought to trial] solely over the fact that he "lied to the American People" (about having sex with a staffer in our Oval Office). No one was killed, no treasury losses were incurred, no American jobs were lost.
Obama has presided over the implementation and coverup of HillaryObamatax as well as Benghazi, Fast and Furious, "Stimulus" embezzlement and waste, 14% unemployment/underemployment, weaponized IRS attacks on Conservatives, wholesale spying on innocent Americans, etc, etc.

Now, Harry Reid tells us that we need more taxes (than the highest revenues in history) and that "everyone wants to pay more". Still no progress on responsibility (or even 'transparency') for the "old business Secret Service scandal, the G.S.A. scandals, the Stimulus diversion/embezzlement scandals, the Fast and Furious scandal (and illegal use of Executive Privilege), the EPA scandals, the Benghazi scandal (and the lies told over the victim's bodies), the I.R.S (and DEA, FBI, DOJ...) scandals, the NSA scandals, the 15% unemployment/underemployment scandal....
...Oh, and by the way, it is once again "Republicans fault" and even "Bush's fault".

But its not Obama's fault. After all, he knew "nothing about it", but proclaimed as PotUS that "the police acted stupidly". And he was unaware until it was on the media, but the "President of all the people" saw a proven felony-assault "son" in Martin. He was busy sleeping and fund-raising and repeated over and over that Benghazi must be some kind of "video", even over the bodies of the victims. He had no clue at all that thousands of guns were issued by his Attorney General to foreign narco-terrorists. He is, however, the most savvy consumer of intelligence in history, and really doesn't need those pesky and under-informed intelligence briefings with their boring binders full of expert data. Can't get good help, I guess.

I want to be clear. SophosArchaeus has written reams of supported and footnoted facts calling out the usurper Left [and those that claim to be 'Conservative', 'Republican', 'Libertarian' et al, but are actually Progressive or Anarchist] that is currently "leading" our country into the ground. But this is not to say that I "hate the government".

I love OUR government. Our government is Constitutional and Representative. Our government is of, by and for the People. Our government is only as big as it must be and only tries to do what it has the authority and need to do. I want our government [and by extension, our military and Law Enforcement] to have all the advantages. I want them to have the latest, strongest, biggest, fastest, toughest, most devastating and one-sided weapons, intelligence and manpower in human history...
...and restraint and integrity rather than arrogance and political-class narcissism. And, first and foremost, the People who lend some of their power to the Representative, Constitutional government demand that every member of that government acknowledge and hold themselves constrained in a few things:

...that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. ~ 1st Amendment;
...that the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. ~ 2nd Amendment;
...that the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,
and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,
supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. ~ 4th Amendment;
...that in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a
speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district
wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have
been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and
cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against
him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor,
and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence. ~ 6th Amendment;
...that the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. ~ 9th Amendment;
...and that among those dozens of other rights [given by our Creator and not issued nor revocable by any politician or bureaucrat] and powers [granted by We, the People], it is our government (especially the Feds) that is limited, while the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively,
or to the people. ~ 10th Amendment.

When our "representatives" recall that they may tax and expend only a minimal amount of our money, only pass or enforce laws that are absolutely necessary within their power and equally binding upon them as upon the rest of us, then they will once again be an American government. Until then, too many of them are simply a greedy, dishonest gaggle of foreign-style, class-war mongering, anti-American usurpers [see: Traitor, n.].

[Scroll, if you will to the top of this blog page. See that photo of the peace-loving, faithful, working man, leaving his plow and coat in order to "move to the sound of the guns" with his own musket? SophosArchaeus went to the Old North Bridge, along the Battle Road near Concord to take his photo. He does not want to lose a days' work to look for trouble. He does not want to risk his life or health in combat, possibly leaving his family to lose the farm their grandfather cleared. But he has heard the drums or bells or shots, or been summoned by the rider with news. UnAmerican troops are approaching to take his family's and neighbor's Liberty, and he will not allow that to happen. He will stand between the violent, greedy enemy and the country he loves.]

“Well regulated” means 'self-disciplined' and ‘practiced for effectiveness', not brass buttons or
Government chains of command.Since it
was intended primarily as the People’s defense against Government usurpation of the
People’s power, asserting that it must be subject to the government is just
senseless. Sheer revisionism. Mason also used the unrestrictive term “arms”, rather than ‘musket’ (or the superior, civilian
Pennsylvania Rifle) to ensure ongoing parity with the infantry.TheRight is not primarily for ‘deer hunting’ but “security” or self-defense; and that primarily
against governmental tyranny such as America had just thrown off in gaining
Independence.Jefferson wrote that “the
beauty of the Second Amendment is that it
will not be needed until they try to take it.”

Dead last on Obama’s “to usurp” list is a ‘National dialogue about mental
health’.Perhaps, if Left-Leaning mental
health pros did not hide their patients’ increasingly violent status from the authorities
(and therefore, gun-licensing procedure) one or two of the obviously insane shooters
might have been under detention, or the few that actually bought guns, denied.But does anyone actually believe that “National
dialogue” will result in a universal move to honest reporting of mental illness?By the way, not one of the guns used in these
tragedies was bought at the Progressive’s bane: the evil, non-reporting “Gun
Show”.

Meanwhile, Leftists (who care nothing about the Constitutional Rights that make America exceptional, or actually despise and connive against them) rail about their imaginary 'gun show loophole' and demand "universal record checks". By this, they mean record making: recording every gun-related transaction and the buyer's information. The Left continues to refuse to report the psychotically dangerous to the existing Federal system, while the N.R.A. devised and suggested - YEARS AGO - an instant background check for gun shows. Simply run the I.D. of a potential buyer, and get a green light (no felony record and no clinical insanity) or red light (no record or a problem with the record). No reported sale or type of sale, no invasion of privacy, yet avoidance of arming someone who should not have access. But the lie of "NRA opposing background checks" continues.UPDATE: Please watch this excellent statement by a Sandyhook parent, who considers the "lock down" of children inside a "Gun Free Zone" school that is under attack by ANY armed madman to be a DEATH TRAP.As to our most precious asset: our children.While private property owners should have the right to regulate guns on
their property (as they do in most pro-gun States), for goodness sake, take
down the “Gun Free Zone” targets!All
these signs do is advertize to attackers that the occupants are defenseless
against them.Only the law-abiding will
make any effort to honor the signs.The anti-gun
movie stars, rich bankers and Progressive Socialist “representatives” all have their own guns and/or squads of
heavily armed guards.Why not let
retired cops and soldiers (or trained volunteer parents and teachers), armed
and supervised by Police School Resource Officers, protect our schoolchildren?

Why do Leftists call
the concept of defending children (which has been in massacre-free practice for
many years in many locales) “more guns on the street”? Why do they seek to politicize and demonize the Law Abiding, rather than take effective action to protect the innocent?

Further update:
As of 2-6-13, a whacked out, racist, Leftist, anti-gun freak (who was fired from L.A.P.D. in 1995) is terrorizing SoCal. This insane, anti-American murderer blamed his firing on everyone else in sight. Then he murdered or attempted to murder many of those involved, but started his spreewith the innocent daughter of the officer that tried to defend him, her uninvolved fiance, and unaware officers from uninvolved departments.

Christopher Dorner, Male, Black, 33, 5'11", 270, has military and police training, considered armed and extremely dangerous.
Dorner left a 'manifesto' after murdering three and attempting several more. He starts out by claiming victim-hood because in first grade, another kid called him a racial name; the other kid got a swat, but Dorner also got a 'completely unjustified, racist, unfair, demeaning swat' for punching and kicking the other kid! Now he says he only has problems with all "Caucasians", "Blacks" (who treat Caucasians in ways he considers inappropriate), Hispanics, Asians, anyone that gets in his way and those who try to "get along". By becoming a mass-murderer, he gets his chance to "clear his name". No issues there.

Dorner is obviously very dangerous and had prepared for years, with dodges and distractions and taunts about his superiority to everyone else with DNA. He is obviously an extremely narcissistic, disturbed ego-maniac. He is way too dramatically convinced of his god-like superiority and cut-and-paste skills with nifty Spec-Ops terms (used correctly about 1/3 of the time). He rants mindlessly against all guns in the hands of civilians, especially mis-described ARs which he imagines were used in all the wrong crimes (like where only pistols with standard magazines were used). He imagines himself to be a combination of Dr Moriarty, Xerxes, Napoleon and MLK. Its more like George III, Caligula, Hitler and Jim Jones.
